ID Spotter Models
Following the 1941 aerial attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics put out a call to action, asking kids to create 500,000 scale aircraft models to help millions of civilians and soldiers tell friends from enemies during World War II. They were used for training military personnel in aircraft recognition and range estimation in gunnery practice. They were also used to train civilians in enemy plane detection, an essential element in civilian defense.
